Xero expands relationship with US PKF firm & related entity
PKF Mueller and Mueller dotKonnect sign global agreement, making Xero the preferred accounting software for clients
DENVER, August 16, 2023 - Xero, the global small business platform, today announced PKF US firm - PKF Mueller and Mueller dotKonnect (MdK), a separate yet related firm - have signed up to the Xero and PKF Global partnership agreement, first announced last year.
This means Xero becomes the preferred accounting solution for PKF Mueller and MdK and their small-to-medium business clients, and underpins the benefits of adopting cloud accounting into practices.
“Leadership at PKF Mueller and MdK both recognize the significance of our teams embracing and harnessing the power of cloud accounting solutions, which are widely adopted by our clients and colleagues worldwide,” said David Nissen, CEO of PKF Mueller. “Xero is an exceptional platform that empowers our clients, especially those engaged in international business, to make better business decisions with quality, insight-driven solutions.”
Xero supports the PKF network both domestically and internationally, working with their partners and customers to create a people-first approach to serving small businesses. With both a global strategy and a local implementation, teams are able to align their combined dedication to cloud services and similar values seamlessly.
"The accounting profession’s utilization of cloud applications has matured quite a bit, not only in terms of technology tools but also within the mindset of SMB clients,” said Phani Illapakurty, President of Mueller dotKonnect. “Xero has outperformed some of the other solutions in terms of user experience, functionality, reporting, and support. A big differentiator we noticed is the proactive engagement from Xero's US management team to help us help our clients better, faster, and more efficiently."
To ensure specialization and expertise in Xero, both PKF Mueller and MdK have taken the proactive approach of initiating the Xero certification process for more than 30 team members.
“We’re thrilled to be able to continue our working relationship with PKF through PKF Mueller and through Mueller dotKonnect, an affiliated but separate firm, working to deliver high-quality, scalable results across their entire organizations,” said David Bell, EGM of Global Partner Sales at Xero. “Maintaining a continued focus on the people behind the small businesses is what has aligned our two companies, and makes this partnership seamless across entities.”
